I think it is incorrect to call current trash pickup a "free" service. As a San Diego home owner and tax payer for 30+ years trash collection is a service I have been paying for with my taxes and fees to the city. Now that the city is strapped for money they are waving trash collection in our faces and calling it a "free" service. I believe in fee for service and would not oppose paying specifically for trash collection as long as folks who go to the city libraries pay a fee for that service as well. Nice to hear Tom on the radio this morning.

Yes - I believe all elected officials should be limited to serve for a moderate number of years, 8 being reasonable. Supporting that we should have a way for voters to more readily recall incumbents who fail to perform based on the will of their constituents.

If people spent half as much time taking good care of themselves as they do worrying about what their neighbors are up to, we'd all be a lot better off.Peacefull protests are among the hallmarks of this country and we need to hear from everyone including the bigots, the selfish and the ignorant

Like Don't Ask, Don't Tell and Same Sex Marriage - the imigration issue reminds us that we have to work very hard in this country to get the selfish to share and be tolerant. The polls that suggest that 70% of Americans support the new Arizona law doubtfully takes into account whether the polled understand the ramifications of the law. This new Arizona law should not be generalized into discussions about whether you support laws to defend against illegal immigration.
